DPelletier OP I Live Here D Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 15,134 Kelowna, B.C. Canada	To summarize; - All tanks and thier accessories say Made in Canada on them. All of the grommets/accessories use the same part number. Part numbers on the tanks are very similar (CCR9C, CR9A (Charger), CR9C) - I believe all the tanks were made by Spectra - Tank #1 and tank #3 are identical except for the dent and $480.00! . Neither are acceptable, primarily due to the painted finish. Paying $665.00 for a gas tank is bad enough, but it ain't gonna happen for one with a spray bomb silver paint job. I will keep you all posted in case this helps anyone else.

They claim it's unpainted and dent free, but I think I'm stuck with the ECS tubes. I'll let you guys know tomorrow.

Jeff, I'm going to try goodmark but going to ask about the finish first. They say here they are correct. Gary, I'm wishing you luck, but according to a previous poster, the Goodmark unit has the same Spectra part number so I'm thinking it's made by Spectra too. ........something to consider.
